1 Functional Diagram
2 General Description
The MLX90285 is a one-chip solution for driving two-coil
brushless DC cooling fans.
The device features Soft Switching to lower acoustic and electrical
fan noise. This efficient solution is enhanced with an intelligent
Active Slope Control which automatically adjusts the slope
duration depending on the fan rotation speed. Thus, the fan
performance to noise ratio is always kept optimum without the
need of tuning via external component.
The device includes a novel Two-Stage Thermal Protection as well
as Locked Rotor Protection for demanding application
safety requirements.
Frequency Generator or Rotation Detection is available. The
open-drain output makes the connectivity with any external
interface for hardware monitoring easier.
These features are combined with the Melexis patented no- VDD
design to fit the IC in small 4-pin VK package.
The device is also delivered in DC package for automatic
assembly.
